    I don't think so. Goodell is no longer any good to the owners. His battered credibility is now zero. He will announce a big mea culpa, it wasn't the league but me and my responsibility etc. He'll sail off in his new yacht and severance package worth 100-120M. The new commissioner will establish a committee based review process for player conduct, etc.

    That's how this is going to end.

    Biden was blathering ad nauseum and chest thumping against domestic violence earlier on some network I was watching.

    well I hope your right, but I dont have any faith it will play out like that



    at least Roger G. wants to drop 2 useless exhibition games. Totally meaningless and completly annoying games.

    As much as I want to see Goodell go down over this, because he deserves it, Congress has no right to be involved in this.

    This incident has created a sad statement for American politics and double standards with the way businesses/media are run.

    The fact that you (and just about everyone else) would actually think that statement is relevant in this situation just shows how ****ed up media perception is these days.

    When you can't distinguish between the law of the land, and the court of public opinion.. i.e The consequences of one are just as bad as the other, then that is a sign something is seriously wrong.

    It is mind boggling to me that the court of public opinion has essentially ruined the life of Rice and his wife for the time being. And on top of that, Goodell throws himself onto the tracks over something as trivial as the public opinion of one player.

    Due process is literally an afterthought. By the time that is settled, the punishment has already been sentenced by the asshats all over ESPN, or wherever.

    I think this is more about public awareness than it is about a witch hunt. Plenty of people are still in the dark about domestic violence, a major movement can be made with a successful push by NOW.
